OLDS’ FIELD and SOY BEANS 
(Sow 120 pounds to an acre.) 
Until a few years ago, soy beans in Wisconsin were mostly grown for hay. 
new improved early varieties they are becoming popular as a cash crop. Soy beans are valuable 
in many ways. They yield large amounts of high protein forage, rich in food value and are 
splendid for either hay or silage. They improve the soil fertility and are equal to 8 loadg of 
stable manure to the acre. They are more resistant to frost than corn and will withstand hot 
weather. They are the only legume crop that will grow on acid soil and build up the land 
and they are adapted to nearly all soils, especially sandy soil. When other early planted crops 
fail they make a wonderful emergency crop:as they can be put in late. The grain will not 
deteriorate in value when the crops stand a considerable length of time after maturity and with 
processing plants now available, it gives the farmer a splendid additional cash crop. The ground 
beans are considered better than oil meal for mixing with home grown grains to balance the 
Now with the 

dairy ration. 
WISCONSIN MANCHU NO. 606 SOY 
BEAN 
This is a selection of Manchu made at the 
Spooner Branch Experiment Station. About a 
week earlier in maturing than Manchu No, 3 
and the earliest and best for seed production in 
the northern parts of Wisconsin. The yellow 
beans and the plant are similar to Manchu.

ILLINI SOY BEAN 
Illini, a yellow variety, was developed at the 
Illinois Experiment Station from the old A. K. 
We sell nearly as many Illini as Manchu. It 
seems to grow a little taller than Manchu, giving 
a heavier yield while in season it is hardly any 
later. Some think it *s even earlier. Just as de- 
sirable in every other way and we would say 
better for hay in Wisconsin than Manchu.

BARSPROUT 
Stops Sprouting of Potatoes in Storage 
A new chemical methyl ester of naphthalene- 
acetic acid, which, when dusted over potato 
tubers when they are placed in storage in the 
Fall at the rate of 1 lb. to 11 bushels will keep 
them from sprouting. Tests of potatoes stored 
in August with the use of this chemical found 
the tubers practically sproutless the following 
May. The harmless chemical vaporizes and 
- comes in direct contact with the potato eye. Not 
effective if applied after the tubers have sprout- 
ed. Spread the tubers in layers and dust with 
Barsprout or dust the tubers as they are loaded 
into the bin or cellar through a chute. Do not 
use on seed potatoes. Pays for itself many times 
over in shrinkage loss and better prices on the 
spring market. 
Prices: 1-lb. sifter top can, $1.20 each; 5-lb. 
cans, $5.50 each, postpaid. By express or 
freight: 20-lb. drums, $16.00. 
WISCONSIN MANCHU NO. 3 SOY 
BEAN 
A selection by the Wisconsin Experiment As- 
sociation of the Manchu Soy Bean. In appear- 
ance it resembles the Manchu. We think it the 
best medium season soy bean. It ranks as the 
best in this section for quality’ and yield. Its 
high oil content makes it a desirable commercial 
soy bean. Good seed production in southern 
Wisconsin.

MUKDEN SOY BEAN s 
A new stiff stem yellow variety introduced by the University 
of Iowa, which will mature in about 105 growing days for seed 
production. It looks promising although it does not seem quite 
as early as the Manchu No. 8. Its stiff growing habits make it a 
desirable variety for silage. The yield of beans is probably a 
little less than Manchu No. 3 and the hay yields about the same. 
Prices, by freight or express f. 0. b. Madison: Wisconsin Cer-

SUDAN GRASS 
(Sow 35 pounds to an acre.) 
Sudan Grass is proving a mighty valuable crop for Wisconsin. 
Sudan Grass is a good emergency hay crop. No crop quite equals 
Sudan Grass for a late pasture and hay crop. 
Here are five reasons why Sudan Grass is of such great value: 
First—Yield. It makes a heavy yield of hay, outranking all 
the millets in yield per acre. Yields of two to four tons of cured 

hay per acre from one cutting are common in Wisconsin. Two 
cuttings a season can often be made, 
Second—Quality. It makes a better quality hay than millet. 
It makes wonderful hay grown with soy beans and helps to cure 
them. 
Third—Late Sowing. It can be sown late, after you are 
through with your corn, or when corn fails. Sow any time from 
May 20th to June 20th, or even a little later. Do not sow too 
early. It is strictly a warm weather crop and if put in too early 
the seed will rot. Sow not less than 35 pounds of seed per acre 
and a drill is better than a seeder for putting it in. 
Fourth—Drought Resistant. It withstands long periods of 
drought continuing to grow when most everything else is dried up. 
Fifth—Quack Killer. It is valuable as a smother crop, espe- 
cially for quack and Canada thistle. 
In addition to all the above five good qualities and most 1m- 
portant of all Sudan Grass can be pastured. After the hay crop 
is taken off it makes a fine late pasture as if grows up again 
quickly. Or, it can be pastured all the season instead of being 
eut for hay. It is also great for late pasture. Sown the last of 
May or first of June it is ready the middle of July when the blue 
grass paSture is dried up. 
We recommend Sudan Grass most highly. It 
produces enormously and is an easy crop to handle, 
an annual, dying at the end of the season. 
Prices: Lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. By freight or express 
f. 0. b. Madison: 10 lIbs., $1.80; 100 lbs., $15.00. Sacks included.
